Project Engineering

Each project is approached with the customers' specific requirements in mind. All designs are engineered in accordance with ASME Section VIII requirements and valves may be registered as pressure vessels if required.

Layout, cutting and plate preparation are all done by Ideal's highly skilled tradespeople under the supervision of the Quality Control department.

Assembly and packaging

Assembly

All welding at ideal Welders is preformed in strict accordance with ASME codes and standards by highly qualified ad experienced pressure welders. The quality of work preformed is constantly monitored by ANT-TC Level II certified welding inspectors. Inspection requirements are to ASME Section VIII or to customer requirements, which are often more stringent.

Each valve is tested at Ideal Welders prior to shipping to confirm an ANSI B 16. 104 Class V or better bubble tight shutoff, the cycle is within predesigned times, and the fail-safe is to the pre-designated position. All factory gaskets are also tested to ensure that there is no leakage.
